"Businesses are increasingly aware that nature loss and climate risks have direct implications for financial performance, supply chains and long-term resilience. The challenge is turning complex environmental data into information that can support real business decisions.

The funding round was supported by One Planet Capital, SFC Capital, Scottish Enterprise, and the British Business Bank.

"My main motivation was the huge opportunity to make an impact when I realized the potential of my idea. This started out as a dissertation on wind turbines and realized this could be so much more. I want to make a difference. We need clean energy fast to meet our targets we are behind on. Hence my inspiration to design a wind turbine that focused on lowering costs, improving logistics and eliminating the need for cranes and large teams to install and maintain wind turbines."
— Adarsh Bhardwaj, Founder and CEO
£1.6M

The funding round was led by Archangels to support product development and market entry.

"Oncology is an exciting and vibrant sector. The scientists and technologists have been doing incredible things based upon the samples that they’re given, but there hasn’t been any particular movement in how the samples are prepared for years. Our msX platform has the potential to revolutionise how samples are collected, allowing for larger samples, faster extraction, simpler processing, and fully automatable capabilities."
